T
he National Council for Public-Private Partnerships is a non-profit, non-partisan organization founded in 1985
to provide education, training and resources to both public and private partners interested in public-private
partnerships (PPPs). The Council is a forum for the brightest ideas and innovators in the partnership arena.
The Council’s growing list of public and private sector members, with experience in a wide variety of public-private
partnership arrangements, and its diverse training and public education programs represent vital core resources for
partnering nationwide. The Council’s members bring an unmatched dedication to providing the most productive
and cost-effective public services in these areas:
Provision of Public Services: Operation and maintenance of services,
including mass transportation, water, wastewater, solid waste management,
energy and social services.
New Infrastructure Development: Attracting new private capital to
transportation, health care, environmental facilities and communications
infrastructure.
Joint Public-Private Ventures: Partnerships in fields such as
community development, real estate ventures, environmental remediation,
child and adult care, education, military base conversions, corrections,
international ventures and volunteer programs.
The distinguished membership of the Council is at the cutting edge of publicprivate initiatives. Its members include a cross-section of leading public officials,
business leaders and non-profit organizations.
NCPPP has ﬁve distinct institutes:
Energy, International, Real Estate,
Transportation & Water
Institutes, Committees and Task Forces
Special partnership issues are addressed through a range of member programs.
Individual industry sector Institutes provide a forum for collective action on
common concerns, such as sponsoring mini-seminars, preparing testimony
or standardized documents and contributing to the educational outreach of
the Council. Committees provide an on-going framework for monitoring and
addressing concerns that impact all aspects of public-private partnerships. Task
Forces can also be organized for specific issues as they emerge.
Council Institutes are not mutually exclusive and members are encouraged to
participate in all institutes that meet their organizational interests. Any member
in good standing can be a member of any of the Council’s Institutes.

Cynthia V. Anderson is the lead for the U.S. Department of
Energy’s (DOE) Asset Revitalization Initiative, a Departmentwide initiative to examine ways to work with local communities
to support the reuse of DOE resources at former Cold
War weapons sites around the country. She will lead the
implementation effort and build on the recommendations from
the Phase I report from the Task Force on Asset Revitalization,
that will facilitate efforts to support beneficial reuse options at
DOE sites, including reindustrialization, manufacturing, clean
energy development, nature preserves, and educational centers.
Most recently, Ms. Anderson was the Chief Operations
Officer for DOE’s Office of Environmental Management (EM).
She is formerly the Director of the EM Recovery Act Program
where she oversaw the operational activities at dozens of
facilities across the country where environmental management
work is performed. The EM Recovery Act Program is a $6
billion initiative to accelerate environmental restoration, facility
decommissioning and demolition, and radioactive waste disposal
while saving and creating thousands of jobs under the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. During Ms. Anderson’s
leadership the EM Recovery Act program reduced DOE’s
footprint by more than 515 square miles, helping to facilitate the
economic re-use of federal lands.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in areas
of nuclear, environmental and business management, Ms.
Anderson views this new challenge in her Federal career as a
tremendous opportunity to showcase the organization’s work
